Huckleberry and Raspberry are great
I don't like the gels that taste like frosting, and some of the newer products are so expensive! I find the fruity flavors of hammer gel are reliable and palatable even after hours on the move, and they are still my favorite after many years. I'm glad I can still find them!!

Best Gel (for me)
I’ve sampled many gels over 4 decades of cycling. Like the Hammer Montana Huckleberry the best. I buy in bulk, squeeze into 5 serving gel flask

Too chocolatey!
I’ve been a GU with caffeine user for years. However many of my hiking friends use Hammer products. With the price being cheaper than GU I thought I’d give it a try. I ordered the Espresso flavor 50 mg caffeine. On a long hike, where I would be consuming several packets over time, I’m not sure I could tolerate the taste because it’s very chocolatey and sweet! I’m still out on whether it gives me the boost I need compared to my GU products. I’ve only used Hammer gels on short hikes of 10-14 miles so far.
